YOU CAN MAKE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE! Volunteer to help M-A's English learners!

• Volunteer tutors help students who are trying to learn English in M-A's beginning and intermediate English Language Development (ELD) classes. Most of the students are relatively new to the U.S. and face huge challenges in tackling high school in a new language and a different educational system. Volunteers give them an opportunity to practice English conversation and offer individual support for their classwork. Familiarity with a second language is not required.

• Tutors focus on reading, writing, vocabulary, and conversation.

• Tutors are usually assigned to one period on a block day, so the weekly time commitment on campus is about two hours.

• Tutors work with a maximum of two students under the direction of the classroom teacher.

• Tutors are needed at the following times: Wednesday, 3rd period, 11:15am-12:55pm; and Thursday, 2nd period, 9:40-11:20am.

This is a terrific opportunity for parents to get involved in a constructive and rewarding way, working directly with students and teachers. For freshman parents, it's a unique way to get to know M-A.
